She declared it with a sense of pride.
“Uh… why are you telling me this?”
Joseph asked cautiously, starting to sense that something wasn’t quite right.
Leaning in closer, Heidi’s voice dropped to a teasing whisper.
“Brother-in-law, do you want to experience a girl’s first kiss?”
Joseph’s face turned crimson, and he quickly stood up, flustered.
“This… this isn’t appropriate! If your sister finds out, she’ll kill you! Let’s just forget this ever happened. I need to get back to the office.”
Heidi, however, grabbed the collar of his shirt with surprising strength, pulling him back down. Their faces were now mere inches apart.

Raymond toppled forward and tumbled out the window.Scrappy prepared to follow, but just as he stepped up, a firm grip clamped around his ankle. A team of plainclothes officers surged into the room and brought him down in seconds.---Raymond crashed to the ground below, landing face-first with a sickening thud.He groaned and tried to get up—but before he could move, a pair of cold steel cuffs locked around his wrists."Been running all night, huh? Looks like you ran straight into our net," the short, round-faced officer muttered as he secured the cuffs.Moments later, the rest of the team arrived."Let me go! Do you know who my father is? My father is Howard Kim!" Raymond shouted."You have no right to arrest me! Let me go!" "My father is Howard Kim! Howard Kim, you hear me?"The officer raised an eyebrow. "What?""I said—Howard Kim! My father is Howard Kim!" Raymond gritted his teeth."Louder.""...""Forget it. I can’t hear a thing. Take him away." "If he starts screaming a

It was around 7 or 8 PM. Across Nova City, lights blazed to life.In Triumphant Metropolis, the city’s nightlife was just beginning to bloom.Inside one of the luxurious private suites, Raymond Kim stood by a floor-to-ceiling window, cigarette in hand, gazing out at the dazzling skyline, his brows drawn tightly together.Behind him stood Griffin Bailey, Jonathan, and Scrappy—all exchanging nervous glances."I told you to dig up some intel from the police. Yet here you are, empty-handed. What good are you to me?" Raymond took a long drag of his cigarette, his voice icy with displeasure."Mr. Kim, we really tried. But there’s just… nothing," Jonathan replied, clearly distressed. "Those guys went in, and it’s like they vanished. No release, no leaks—absolutely nothing. It’s bizarre.""I asked my family to reach out too, but the Nova City police haven’t said a word," Griffin said with a sigh of frustration."I even tapped into my contacts on the street. Still got nothing," Scrappy a

Joseph didn’t give it much thought. He parked and stepped inside.Old Mr. Morgan was sitting on the sofa, casually scrolling through his phone. Meanwhile, Alice was busy in the kitchen.“Sir, you’re here,” Joseph greeted as he entered.“Joseph, you’re back,” the old man replied with a warm smile.“You went to the university today?” Joseph asked as he sat down, pouring a cup of tea for the elder.“Yes, just to check in. Isn’t there progress on your situation? I went to have a word with Geoffrey Harris, to keep him informed.” “Also had a chat about talent acquisition. Nova City brings in quite a few experts from Nova University every year,” the old man said with a chuckle.“I see,” Joseph nodded.“But the main reason was your situation. The police said they’ll be making arrests in the next couple of days. Details are still under wraps—they insisted on confidentiality before the operation.” “No need to worry. The truth will surface soon enough. And when it does, I want to see who had

"Sir, this way, please—right this way to our VIP lounge." He gestured politely, leading Joseph into an elegant private room."Sir, I’ll have someone begin processing your request right away. Would you like the funds in cash, or should we transfer it to your account?" Archie asked with a courteous smile."Deposit it into my bank account," Joseph replied."Then may I please see your ID and bank card? I’ll have it taken care of immediately. If you don’t have an account with our bank, we’ll be happy to open one for you," he added, smiling obsequiously.Joseph had witnessed the entire shift in Archie’s behavior and remained emotionally detached. This manager truly embodied the essence of a sycophant."I already have an account with your bank. That’s precisely why I came here," Joseph replied, placing his ID and bank card on the table."Very good, sir. Please give me a moment—I’ll handle it right away," Archie said, taking the documents and leaving to process the transaction.Moments lat

"That’s true enough," Foster nodded.Over the years, very few had come looking for Brian Adams, and none of them had been ordinary. Including Joseph. Though Foster had been playing along, he couldn’t deny that Joseph was… different."In that case, let’s just follow the Chief Instructor’s rules," Joseph said lightly."If that’s your decision, then there’s nothing more I can say," Foster sighed."Thank you for guiding me here today, Dean Foster. I’ll treat you to a proper meal another time," Joseph said with a smile."No need for that, Professor Wilson. You’re too kind. This was just a small errand assigned by the president—nothing major. I merely showed you the way.""Don’t be so modest, Dean Foster. I have a feeling I’ll be troubling you again before long," Joseph said, giving Foster a meaningful glance.That glance made Foster uneasy.Joseph had seen something—something he shouldn’t have.As they continued talking, Joseph returned to where he had parked. Under Foster’s watchful gaze,

"I hold all the answers you’re looking for. But if you’re too weak, knowing the truth will only become a torment.""If you uncover everything yet can do nothing, it’s better not to know at all.""In fact, you still have a choice—you could walk away from all of this and live a quiet, peaceful life."Adams flexed his knuckles, his voice as cold as ice."And what about you?" Joseph retorted. "Would you choose ignorance too, to live out your days in comfort?""I'm not like you," Adams replied flatly. "I do what I believe is right. I’ve done so for years. That’s why your master sent you to me."His face remained expressionless as he shook his head."In that case, there's no need for more talk. If strength is what you want, I’ll return with it."Joseph’s tone was steely."I’ll be waiting," Adams said, managing a twisted, mirthless smile."Then, Chief Instructor, I’ll take my leave."Joseph gave a slight bow, his tone equally frigid. He had expected this—extracting information from Brian Ada
